• Help identify task-related hazards.
• Enable assessment of risk levels.
• Guide the implementation or verification of safety controls.
• Confirm if a task can be done safely or if issues need to be escalated.

Starting a Take 5 Assessment

When you begin a new Take 5 assessment, you'll first provide some basic details:

• Reporting Person: Defaults to your user profile.
• Supervisor: Select the supervisor responsible for overseeing the task.
• Task: Clearly describe the task you are about to perform. These fields are typically required to proceed.
